Any active EVE Online account with a verified email address may send Buddy Program invitations.

Buddy accounts must be created using the links provided in the Buddy Program invitation email or that provided on https://secure.eveonline.com/Buddy/invite.aspx . Be sure your friends use a Buddy Program invitation to create their account in order for you to earn your reward when they subscribe to EVE Online.

Once the new Buddy account is established and the subscription fee received by CCP, the player submitting the invitation may receive their award. For players having a paid account for EVE Online, the reward will be PLEX or 30 days’ additional game time. For players having a trial account for EVE Online, the reward will be 30 days’ additional game time. No substitutions are permitted. CCP reserves the right to change the rewards from time to time.

To claim a PLEX reward, you will need to have an active, paying EVE Online account at the time your Buddy purchases the EVE Online Buddy subscription. Users with trial EVE Online accounts are not eligible for PLEX rewards.

To claim a 30 day game time reward, you will need to have an active or lapsed EVE Online trial account with a verified email address or an active or lapsed paying EVE Online account with a verified email address at the time your Buddy purchases the EVE Online Buddy subscription.

Reward eligibility is further determined by the Buddy account’s activation method and other criteria listed in these Terms and Conditions.

Please note that once your Buddy purchases an EVE Online subscription, your reward may take up to 24 hours to be applied.

CCP reserves the right to restrict eligibility for some rewards according to other criteria stated in the Buddy Program, including but not limited to minimum account age or minimum client log-in time of the inviter.
